Styles and Snips for 2012

As 2011 is quickly coming to a close, 2012 is simply exploding with fresh looks and radical styles for your luscious locks! Are you ready to say adios to 2011 and embrace a new look for the new year?

This years selection of hot new styles is extremely diversified offering something for everyone no matter what length your hair is.

The first thing on the agenda for 2012 is radical, edgy cuts and colors. From razor-sharp layers to bright pinks and blues, 2012 is going to be the year to let it all hang out and let go of your inhibitions. Short fiery bobs are some key players this season. If you’ve been contemplating trading in your long locks (or already have short hair) then you might want to consider trying out a powerful chin length bob.

Let your hair taste the rainbow, add some life and color to it. Blue, pink, purple, green, whatever your heart desires this is the time to do it. It’s 2012, bright colorful hair isn’t just for the punks anymore! Embrace it and let your color run wild!

If you’re not ready to trade in your long locks then never fear we have more styles for you! It’s time to toss that side part aside and frame your face with nice even amounts of hair on both sides. Yep. The center part is back, and looking better than ever. Whether your hair is pin straight or decides to fall on the curly side a center part done properly will show off your pretty face. This kind of hairstyle will add a touch of elegance to any face.

You like your bangs too much to push them to either side? That’s o.k., because a nice straight across fringe is also on the horizon for 2012. Bangs already made a huge come-back and they’re still going strong. This timeless style of bangs will frame your face and draw attention to your eyes. Just be warned that they do require touch-ups every few weeks so that they won’t fall into your eyes. Layered and wispy this chic ‘do is casual yet spunky and will cater to all your hair-needs. This is easily one of the most versatile looks and can change dramatically with a simple switch up in the way you wear your makeup or what you decide to wear. This hairstyle is a great match for those who want something that is easy to manage and versatile.

Finally! Updo’s! There is so many ways you can to mount your hair on you head this season! First things first: BRAIDS. Braids are making a comeback like never before. From a simple braid, fishtails, to a sleek braid used as a headband, there are so many new ways to wear your braids. Now go out there and experiment and entwine your hair away!

Buns, buns, and more buns. A simple, thown up messy bun and tight ballerina buns are both in this season, it really just depends on your preference.

High, sleek ponytails. Ponytails that pull the hair away from the face graced many runways and are a hot item this season. Smooth and silky tied high in the back of the head is that way you want to rock your ponytail in 2012

So toss away those old locks and say Goodbye 2011! You were great while you lasted but... it’s time to move on...... Why hello 2012, you’re looking pretty damn fine and fresh.

Styles for Men 2012

It’s time to spice things up and reignite those sparks in your hair. This coming year there are a few men’s styles that are making the circuit, and all of them are clean, sexy and easy to manage, but hot as hell.

First up on our list of hot new men’s hairstyles for 2012 is a “Mad Man” inspired look. Slicked back and clean, this hairdo is a throwback to the 1950-1960’s. It has a very gentlemanly feel to it with an air of mischief and fun around it. Not only is this hairstyle a complete lady killer but it is easy to manage and clean. And lets be honest here, who has never dreamt of brushing a comb through slicked back hair like James Dean or Darrel Curtis from “The Outsiders”?

This next style always makes me drool just a bit... The British rocker look. Imagine Ian Curtis from Joy Division, with a little more shag. The messy, relaxed look is perfect for any man’s face. Cut a little shorter on the sides with a nice messy fringe falling down over the forehead, and layers scattered throughout the style, this ‘do is just plain sexy and looks good whether you want to keep it groomed or rock the bed-head look. Just please promise to go to the professionals to get this cut, because all though it looks simple to recreate in your bathroom, believe me, it’s not. Also they can suggest the right products to get the exact look you want.

A stylized version of the mohawk is coming back into style. To properly pull off this style, you actually need to shave down the sides of your head. Not completely down to the skin, but enough. The actual mohawk part should be within a reasonable size. We’re not saying that 3-feet tall mohawks aren’t cool to walk around with, but it’s not really something that you can show up with out of the blue one day. Talk to your stylist about how long your mohawk should be. this style is great because if there are any days that you don’t want to do it up you and leave it down and brush it to one side and it will still look awesome.

There are 3 inspirational styles for men for 2012. Make them your own and get out there and rock it! Own your hair. Just like 2012, this is a year for change and new opportunities and why not start by changing your hair?
